A Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece Reimagined in Biltmore Forest - Prepare to be captivated by this rare architectural jewel nestled in historic Biltmore Forest, one of Asheville’s most premier and sought-after neighborhoods. Originally designed in 1964 by renowned Asheville architect Bert King, known for his bold modernist vision, this iconic mid-century modern residence has been spectacularly transformed through a no-expense-spared, top-to-bottom renovation. Completely rebuilt from the inside out with significant structural enhancements, a new metal roof, and all-new high-efficiency systems, the home honors the purity and intention of King’s original design while introducing peak contemporary sophistication. Collaborative Design-This reimagined estate is a masterclass in architectural execution, shaped by the collective vision of three distinct architects—including the current owner. Their meticulous collaboration ensures that every modern luxury coexists seamlessly with the home's historic mid-century soul. Spanning an impressive 4,924 square feet of total primary heated living area, this expansive layout comfortably accommodates 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms (featuring a versatile fourth bedroom option on the lower level). The home flows effortlessly across a highly functional 1-story footprint with a fully finished walk-out basement. Luxury Interior Highlights - Sun-Drenched Living Spaces: Flooded with natural light through expansive walls of glass and skylights, the home boasts clean lines, soaring open floor plans, and striking original stone features. - Chef’s Dream Kitchen: Serving as the home’s centerpiece, the stunning kitchen is equipped with bespoke cabinetry, live-edge walnut breakfast counter, premium stainless appliances (including a gas cooktop and electric oven), and refined material selections. Sophisticated Finishes: Gorgeous slate, tile, and hardwood flooring run throughout. Wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter in the great room, integrated surround sound system. - Primary Suite: Features an elegant layout with a spacious spa-like en-suite bath. Exterior - Set upon a generous 1.42-acre private, wooded homesite with rolling slopes, the property offers a serene and quiet mountain sanctuary. The exterior features timeless stone coverage, a welcoming front portico, and multiple balconies and patios designed for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. To provide the ultimate blank canvas, the landscaping has been recently revised and simplified. This thoughtful edit allows the next owners the rare opportunity to inject their own creativity, custom gardens, or curated outdoor features into this prestigious estate. Unbeatable Location - Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with Biltmore Forest's dedicated community security service, all while being within striking distance of the very best that Asheville has to offer—from world-class dining and vibrant arts districts to the historic Biltmore Estate and outdoor mountain adventures.
